I have one fat pbck volume of Hope Hodgson but being not really enthusiastic about the two I read (ghost pirates and the one with the shipwreck in the country of strange monsters that pound things to pulp) and not sure I can take the archaic style, I hesitated about trying the othes, especially "The Night Land". If you going to read anything by Hodgson , The Night Land is not the book to start with. Adrift on the Haunted Seas. The Best Short Stories of William Hope Hodgson lots of good stuff in that one Or The House on he Borderland which is a superb book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanF Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Quote The Pear-Shaped Man is a good choice. I'd also recommend the Colours Out of Space, and The Rats in the Walls by Lovecraft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Boats of the Glen Carrig. If you are irritated by the style, steer clear of The Night Land. We are talking a book where even H.P. Lovecraft tired of the prose.

Jo498 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 I have the Gollancz volume with the four novels; I read the Ghost pirates and the boats of the Glen Carrig (I don't even recall the latter as all that archaic in style). I will try at least House on the Borderland at some stage but I am sure I can take the style of the Night Land. (I've read some books with archaic (Ouroboros) or dialectal (Welsh's Filth) language and I did manage, but it is far harder than ordinary English).

Would throw Quitter's Inc as well, but I'm not sure it qualifies as weird exactly. More of a novel premise than weird, I spose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manhole Eunuchsbane Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Thus I Refute Beelzy by John Collier. Perhaps the most terrifying (and loyal) imaginary friend a young boy might care to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isis Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 This thread has inspired me to grab a load of Tanith Lee collections for my kindle. Going back 20 years I'd done a good job of collecting her short stories and novels, but I clearly have some catching up to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
